Hi everyone, we'd like to take a moment and answer one of the most frequently asked questions about Interstellar Marines:

There really is nothing we'd rather make than COOP missions and especially unique and exciting ones; but without more advanced AI, options for scripting and more advanced gameplay setup towards tactical sandbox gameplay with a story, we can’t do that.

We want the next COOP mission to feel more immersive and unique than the previous missions. The Cooperative mode was built for Interstellar Marines from the ground-up to be a multiplayer gamemode where you could play unique and exciting missions with three of your friends.

However, if we decide to commit and go through the development process it would require to make another COOP mission like the Neurogen Incident, it would take months to do. With these COOP missions you play through them a few times and then wait for new content to release. It simply takes too much time and resources to create each new mission, make sure most of the substantial bugs are taken care of, then release it within a decent amount of time at the moment. The cost versus pay off just simply wouldn’t be worth it, unfortunately.

If we decided to release new missions it'd simply be more of the same kinds of missions we've done in the past, and we don’t want that. We want missions with a heavy emphasis on replayability, with each playthrough feeling like a new and unique mission.

For this to happen, the focus on adding/improving core gameplay mechanics, tweaking current content, patching bugs and glitches, and adding other content in the meantime will need to continue. For that very reason it makes much more sense to continue to focus on Wargames, using it as a testing ground for new features/content, improving AI, and eventually even possibly having the maps be used for new COOP missions.

We’d also like to make sure that we align all of your expectations with our current situation and progress with Interstellar Marines/Update 28:

Our game director Kim (ZPSHicks, and lone survivor of the original Zero Point Software team) currently works two jobs and has a limited amount of time being able to work on Interstellar Marines.

Currently we have two of our volunteer developers working on upgrading Interstellar Marines’ game engine (Unity) to the latest available version. This will take time, but will hopefully remove a lot of substantial bugs/glitches (for example, the infamous “falling through the ground” bug) and increase optimization.

For now, we are focusing on making small improvements to Interstellar Marines in general and the Wargames multiplayer gamemode.

We’re not giving up hope on this, but development will continue at a slow pace until we can attract a publisher or somehow raise money for development. We have possible leads for publishers, but nothing is confirmed at the moment, so please don’t get your hopes up.

Lastly, I’d like to announce that I will be your latest community manager for Zero Point Software. Expect posts to occur much more frequently, and for communication to improve significantly. I will be keeping you all updated ;)

Interstellar Marines is an immersive tactical sci-fi First Person Simulator in the making, offering a unique blend of tactical gameplay, dynamic environments and non-scriptet AI. Play Singleplayer or Co-op/PvP on servers around the world.

Interstellar Marines is inspired by movies such as Aliens, Starship Troopers and Saving Private Ryan; and games such as Half-Life, Deus Ex, System Shock 2, and Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield.

Interstellar Marines is all about evolving the FPS recipe with the inspirations we've assimilated since the birth of the genre. Our goal is an evolutionary leap forward driven by our compulsive interest in science fiction, role-playing, military realism, and respect for first person immersion.

Interstellar Warfare Initiative

It is the dawn of the 22nd century, a time of great hopes and expectations. The discovery of a new and inexhaustible well of power known as Zero Point Energy has revolutionized space travel. Man has escaped the confines of Mother Earth, and gone on to colonize the solar system.

But far away from public awareness an ambitious military project has already taken Man beyond the final frontier, and into the regions of the stars. The powerful Interplanetary Treaty Organization, ITO, is secretly constructing the first human settlement in another star system.

You are a special forces soldier training to join the Interstellar Marines, a part of the secret Interstellar Warfare Initiative being established to protect humanity against potential threats from the confines of the unknown universe.

It's time to evaluate the Interstellar Warfare Initiative and program evaluations are taking place at The Vault, ITO’s most advanced military facility on Earth enclosed deep beneath Groom Lake, Nevada. Supervised by SARA, ITO’s central neural network AI, SARA will program artificial weather and advanced combat training robots to test each warfare initiative to the limits.

This is where the game begins ...

7 Singleplayer/Co-op Missions

Play 5 co-op and single-player missions against unscripted AI with dynamic environment effects or two pivotal missions inside the Interstellar Marines universe, The NeuroGen Incident and Assault on Starcrown Aerospace. Play singleplayer or co-op with up to three friends in intense action with more co-op and singleplayer missions to come!

Wargames (Sandbox Combat Arena)

Unique sandbox combat arena in the making. Wargames is played across 9 distinct interconnected environment zones allowing 64 players to join in the scavenge for combat points, playing alone or in co-op. We have a special Wargames Steam Leaderboard which tracks Combat Points globally, monthly, and survivors of Wargames.

9 Unique Multiplayer Maps Across 3 Game Modes

Take your friends out in Deadlock, Deathmatch, and Team Deathmatch on maps featuring dynamic environment effects such as time of day, rain, thunder and lightning, emergency lighting, fire alarms, moving platforms etc.

Realistic Simulation

With a physics-based dynamic character controller there are no floating hands, and you can even see your feet! The physically present combat helmet has a HUD projected onto the visor and is affected by dust, rain, fogging, and damage. Aim down the sight for the long shots and use the tactical laser to assist aim when hip firing, as there are no artificial crosshairs to break immersion. Use the intuitive crouch and cover system; spacebar (default) peeks over cover, and looking down leans you forward to see over ledges. You can also shoot out the lights and prowl in darkness, or use the tactical flashlight if you’re afraid of the dark.

We hope you enjoy the game, and look forward to developing it with you as we progress through Early Access!
